If you keep driving with the

malfunction indicator lamp on,

you can damage your vehicle's

emissions controls and engine.

Those repairs may not be covered

by your vehicle's warranties.

Reduced Power

Indicator

This light comes on for a few

seconds when you turn the key to

the "ON" position

If it comes on at any other time, it

indicates that there is a problem in

the throttle "drive-by-wire"

system. With the light on, your

vehicle goes into "limp home"

mode — the engine runs on three

cylinders, and the accelerator

pedal no longer controls engine

speed.

As soon as it is safe, pull off the

road and turn off the engine.

Restart the engine to reset the

system. If the light remains on, or

comes on again while driving,

have the vehicle towed to your

Honda dealer for repair.

Turn Signal

Indicators

A green light flashing on the

instrument panel lets you know

that the front and rear turn signal

lights are working. If the light

stays on and does not flash, check

for a burned out bulb. If there is

no light when the lever is moved,

check the fuse and bulb.

Whenever the Hazard Warning

Flasher Switch is on, both turn

signals will flash.

Low Fuel Indicator

This light comes on when the tank

becomes nearly empty. Fill up the

tank as soon as possible.
If the low fuel indicator light

comes on when the fuel tank is

not nearly empty, have the fuel

tank sensing unit and related

components inspected and

repaired by your Honda dealer.

Driving on a road with many

sharp curves may cause the fuel

indicator light to blink

intermittently. This is normal.

Low Oil

Pressure Indicator

This light is designed to come on

to provide a "bulb check" when

the key is turned to the "ON"

position, but should go out after
